I was hoping to not have a heavy hand as moderator but I have to draw  
a line somewhere:

Anyone posting nude pictures of Franz is going to get banned ; )

Seriously, the line between science and politics has been  
significantly blurred in the U. S. since the end of the Manhattan  
Project. One can certainly argue whether or not this has been a good  
thing. While it has expanded the size of the pot of funding available  
for science, it has made many scientists beholden to the politicos. I  
am not sure that this has been a good trade.

Radiation Protection is one field that strictly due to the regulation  
is highly politicized. Please just keep the discussions civil.

Thanks,

Jeff
